Any kind of precious metal is supposedly a hedge against fiat instability but we have crypto for that now.

Also op, wtf is this about wsb telling people to buy silver? That's a big fat negatory on taht one dude. Silver and gold are known as something the internet finds foolish to have been slaved and fought over. Certaintly not going to wage for that shit, or pull my tendies out of the casino markets half-cooked because im worried about an economic collapse?! wtf, ill just slurp off a gay bear and pick hair out of my mouth for a couple weeks until it recovers- that is the way dude, not panic buying some archaic irl asset... (also you could invest in pokemon cards for better returns but thats a different issue)...
